SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.-The inter,
state commerce commission decision sus-
pending the 4th section of the interstate
law seventy five days on tr~ansconlitcntal
lines has not yet had any effect on freight
rates. Freight is still being taken on the
tariff made under the interstate law. No
change will probably be made until Wed,
nesday, when it is expected an order will
be issued substituting old transcontinental
rates until the meeting OF the ~transcon-
t%inental association in Chicago next week.
AT this meeting it is hoped the tariff will
be fixed. The old transcontinental tariff
makes a reduction of % per cent on pre-
sent rates.

Protecting Prisoners.

LOUISVILLE, April 25.-The revolving
details of the confession of tie negro
Albert Turner. in the case of the girl
Jennie Bollman. who was b~rutally assault
ed by negro burglars at midday last
Thursday, has aroused the indignation of
the community to a degree unparalleled
almost in its. history. Turner'S confession
duplicates another negro named Patter-
son, and the authorities have taken him
to Frankfort in order to escape a mob.
So terribly are the people incensed that
there is danger of the mob proceeding to
Frankfort and lynching him there. When
Turner identified Patterson at Frankfort
prison last night the latter made a spring
at his throat and endeavored to choke
him to death, 1t took five or six men tc
part the negroes, The proof against
them is overwhelming and conclusive.

Dorsheimer Explains.

New YORK, April 25.-Hon. VIM.
Dorsheimer makes the following state
ment: In view of reports which have
been sent out by Washington correspond
ents Of some Western newspapers, l
think it proper to make the following
statement; In January last the president
said to me that he had been contemplate
ing making a public declaration which
would take him tut of the field as u can
didate in 1888. Ho said that he was led
to this conclusion not only by personal
considerations, but because ne thought
such course would relieve him from impu-
tations which were daily cast upon
him, and which interfered with
his usefulness in office. After list
ening to the presidents observations and
supposing that he wished an expression
OF my opinion / told him that | thought
snch declaration would be very unwise
and that it would increase his perplexi-
ties rather than diminish them. / also
said it was not for him to say whether he
would be a candidate for reelection or
not. That was a matter to be decided by
Democrats who had honored him greatly
and who had the right to his services if
they desired them. 1 also urged that
10 tradition would be broken by his
candidacy for a second term and that it
might be most important to his party and
country that he should be reelected.
After long conversation upon this subject,
the effect of which was as l have stated,
the matter was dropped and has not since
been alluded to except in a casual manner.

second term, norhave [ ever seen such a let.
ter or draft of one. l have not been in
Washington since the 4th of this month. II
the president has arrived at a determination
suggested in his conversation with me last
January | DO not know it. But, knowing
well his character, | am confident that il
he thinks it his duty to decline a renomi-
nation, he will make his intention public
in a way which will render a misunder-
standing of it impossible.

Proposed Convention Of Prophets.

10 to sweep over this country the 10Th Of the
present month. We don't worry about this,
for we always have delightful weather-pleas-
ant placid, ideal weather-whenever Virgins
predicts particularly terrific storm; but there
ere three prophets, now in state OF
eruption, in Georgia, in California, and in
Dakota, whose predictions really worry
us. The Georgia prophet predicts that the
Southern States are TO be shaken by terrible
earthquake the 30th of next month; the Cali
fornis prophet says the earth is to run into
comet on the 9th; and the Dakota seer says
the world is coming to an end on the 18th.
Now what worries us is, that the earthquake
and comet are not billed until after the end OF
the world. II they could only occur before
the world came to an end, particularly the
earthquake, II would be much more interest
ing. An earthquake sauntering along after
the world has come to an end would attract
very little attention and be very poorly
patroniEed. These prophets from various
parts Of the country should get together and
bold convention and agree upon some uni
form line Of policy. II they do this We would
suggest to them In our modest way, not to
have the end Of the world come until after
the county fair season. They should do this
out Of respect to the agricultural vote. There

The women strike IL rich,

The American women were getting to be
a weak, used-u lot, and the young men
were getting to the opinion that marriage
meant slavery without help. Plenty of
toll for the wife and servant girl, and very
little pleasure in life for themselves. No
one could tell the cause. Every generation
grew weaker,-the children inheriting the
constitution OF it's parents. 1t all seemed
to be breakup OF the nerve force. 1t is
now a well-established opinion among our
best physicians that the extreme mental
wear from the requirements OF civilization
has produced it. Now the women have
struck the extract OF a little, harmless
tasteless plant favored into u beverage
that gives them double endurance without
harm. 1t is sold by druggists, and called
Moxie Nerve Food.

The Signs OF Drunkenness.

The symptoms OF drunkenness, be it OBJ
served, are all paralytic, and are all due to
loss Of nervous power and OF voluntary
control. The flushing OF the face shows
the paralysis OF the small blood vessels;
soon the slip-shod utterance shows the
want OF voluntary control over some oil
the muscles of articulation; the double
vision indicates the loss OF accommodating
power in the ewes; and the staggering gait
shows that the loss OF control has ex-
tended to the larger muscles; lastly the
drunkard falls PROSTATE in a condition SO
closely resembling apople1y that the most
experienced occasionally fail to distinguish
the one from the other. II the incorporate
use OF alcohol be persisted in there soon
results degeneration Of all the tissues OF
the body. The nervous tissues are, per-
haps, the first to suffer. and the shaking
hand and tottering gait are infallibly FOL
lowed by similar tottering OF the intel
lectual and moral faculties. The stomach
resents the constant introduction into it
Of ardent spirits, and soon refuses properly
to digest food. The liver and kidneys give
out in a similar way, and the impairment
OF their functions causes terrible dropsy.
The heart gets fatty and weak, the lungs
lose their fresh elasticity, and soon there ID
not a tissue in the body which has not, in
one way or another, succumb to the III
